CAIN, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Okoboji, in the county of Dickinson and State ofIowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plate- HolderKits, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to cameras and has special reference to aplate-holder kit therefor.

Qne object of the invention is to provide a simple form of plateho1derkit which may he slipped into the ordinary plate holder for the purposeof allowing the use of a small size plate in a large camera.

Vith the above and other objects in view this invention consists ingeneral of certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements ofparts as will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawings like characters of reference indicate likeparts in the several views, and: Figure l is a front elevation of aplate-holder kit constructed in accordance with this invention.

bar 12 at the other. The side bars 10 and end bars 11 are each providedwith an overhanging strip 13 while the bar 12 is without any such strip.The ends of the strip 13 adjacent the bar 12 are flared as indicated at1% for the purpose of permitting the ready introduction of a plate.

In using the invention the plate-holder kit is slipped inside of theusual plate holder with the plate in position. The plate is then used inthe ordinary manner.

There has thus been provided a simple and efficient device of the kinddescribed and for the purpose specified.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

A plate-holder kit for cameras comprising a pair of spaced side bars, anend bar connecting the side bars at one end, overlapping stripsprojecting over the outer edges of said bars and spaced from the inneredges, a second end bar connecting the remaining ends of the side bars,said strips having their inner edges adjacent the second bar flared forconstituting a guiding means for facilitating the insertion of a plateinto the holder and for preventing the corners of the plate frombecoming nicked during the insertion.
